Mr. Ripley, do you know of any tagging/marking studies which support (or better yet verify) the information you just posted? I'm not necessarily disputing the information, I just haven't seen any good data to indicate that hatchery strays "unstray." Would be nice to believe they did, as I'd say the propensity of Skamania fish to mingle uninvited with fragile native populations is anything but "beautiful"...
